Good morning everyone and thanks for stopping in to the Jolly Jabber today! We're very excited to be stop #3 of the Scrap Republic Blog Tour! I hope you're ready for this...

Scrap Republic is a wonderful book focusing on the joys and colors of your scraps. Yes, that's right--your scraps. We all know we have way too many...we hoard them in our studios and quilt rooms, letting our scrap stash get bigger and bigger until one day it takes over the whole house! Ok, maybe not, but I mean, there has to be an amazing scrap pattern out there somewhere right? Well, look no further. Scrap Republic by Emily Cier of Carolina Patchworks is chock full of amazing patterns that totally utilize your scraps and showcase the beautiful colors (but they also have the yardage requirements just in case your scrap stash isn't fully stocked!)

Please feast your eyes on this beautiful quilt! See, the thing about scraps is sometimes it's hard to see the full print, but would you get a load of that color?! Talk about a treat for the eyes! Personally, I can't get enough color! Today, day 3 of the blog tour, we're falling in love with the color red. Have you ever noticed all the amazing things that are red?

Whether you are in love with color or maybe just dying to deplete your scrap stash a little bit, check out this book, Scrap Republic! I'm sure there's a perfect scrap pattern just for you! And if you need some motivation, check out these five great giveaway gifts that you could win!

Looking at my stash, my favorite color is red. But really, I am so into yellow - we paint at least one room yellow in each house, and I am about to paint some thrift store furniture mustard. Not sure why I don't have more yellow fabric!

hi, and thanks for this chance.. these days I'm dreaming of pinks and off white.. but it keeps changing, so..if you want to, I leave you a link to see a post I dedicated to red some time agohttp://vivi5sentidos.blogspot.com/2009/08/todo-rojo.html

My color of choice is RED. In the fall it is the color of the leaves I love so much, then at Christmas well tadaa it still fits! In the winter all winter long it is winter berries, in spring it comes to spring blooms and red ones at that, February is Valentines, Red again!! it just continues along again and again!!

I cannot stop loving yellow. I don't wear it, as it doesn't suit me, but pretty much everything I want to buy for my house or for sewing is yellow right now. I love it goldeny or orangey, although not so much greenish.

I just pulled out all of my oranges to make some pumpkin blocks and I'm really liking what is in my stash. I'm not even sure where they all came from! I'm going to leave them out and try to use them in a second project.

My favorite color is green because it's vibrant and yet can still be pretty neutral. But right now, I really like orange...and gray. Orange is so happy and adds just a pop of color to everything it touches. Gray is my new favorite neutral. It's calming and really accents any color it's near. Good, happy, cooperative colors are on my list. :-)

I am really digging orange. I feel as though this is a color that is disliked by a lot of people as it is bright. I think it pairs amazingly with dark colors to add a pop to what ever you are making or wearing. I have a pair of orange pants that I just adore but other people cringe at.

I've never been a big fan of oranges until now. Currently I'm loving the color tangerine. Still a bright color but not the orangy orange of a pumpkin. Also love pink, coral, limey green, aqua, purple,..........the list goes on and on.

I'm totally into purples right now, but I really don't know why. Perhaps it is because it is girly, without being overly girly - and I am the only girl in my house, (5 males : 1 husband, 2 sons, 2 pets) so I need a little "girly" in my life where I can find it!

I've been really loving aqua and brown right now. Those colors just seem so soothing and calm. And I seem to see them everywhere I go. I'm even liking the aqua and silver/grey -- it reminds me of the beautiful beaches with aqua water.

Yellow, which is odd because I'm sure I have (or had) very little of it in my stash. I say had because I'm working on a Roman Stripe in light blues, yellow and grays, and there are plenty of scraps! There's a line of yellows that just came out that I had to have.

My favourite colour changes almost daily, but right now I am rather obsessed with yellow. Which is odd because there was a time in the not-so-distant past when I would have said that it was my least favourite colour. I'm so fickle!

All about purple, which isn't surprising since that's my favorite color. I'm working on a quilt for a 4yo girl that's all pinks and purples, so I'm focusing on the purple for my sanity - and I have some gorgeous 1001 Peeps fabric in purple in it too!

I've been totally loving orange lately. And grey. It seems like you can pair just about any color with grey and it looks incredible. But, boy, when I see these mosaics with the color of the day, that color sure looks like my favorite color instead! Love the reds!!

The color that I am digging this week is orange, and my all time favorite Purple, orange has been my favorite for about 8 months now...reason being my bff ask me to make her a pocket book and she wanted orange, that orange just inspired me so much I want orange all around me, in fact I just cut part of a quilt and a tablerunner out in bright orange, and other colors....thanks,

The first "color" that came to mind was white. Maybe I'm just craving simplicity. But, if that doesn't count, I'll have to say green--that bright spring green that just jumps out at you and says, "how can you not be happy? just look at me!"

I'm weird. I never dig one color. Some of my favorites are vanilla white, light aqua, smooth shades of greens and blues, pink, red, well you get the idea. I'm not a fan of orange, but I do love the site and smell of pumpkins this time of year.

I'm so stereotypical but right now I'm really into Orange. The fall brings it on and I'm a huge Clemson fan so I'm surrounded by it but instead of getting tired of it- I still find myself inspired by all the colors of fall. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

I have more blues in my stash than any other 2 colors. I really like deep blues but I'm sewing a quilt with lots of orange shades, along with turquoise, and tans and I'm loving it. Then I have a gorgeous white, pink w/red accents quilt top that I'm putting off quilting because I like it so much and I'll give it away when I get it done.

I'm always attracted initially to brights of almost any color, so lately I have been making an effort to work with browns, greens and more earthy tones. But I always have a "bright" project in the works; it just picks up my mood to work with color!

My fiancé and I are planning our May wedding right now and our colors are lilac and charcoal. Anytime I go shopping or find myself looking at colors, I keep gravitating towards the purples. I just love the way the different shades can be mixed and matched into so many different lovely designs!

I have been into purples lately. It has never been one of my favorite colors, but I seem to be drawn to all shades, from grey undertones, to bright ones. Thanks for this giveaway chance. This color tour is beautiful

I'm loving the effect of colours put together in the rainbow spectrum at the moment. I love the pop of colour it creates. Thinking of making a quilt and cushions in rainbow colours for our kids playroom. Lovely giveaway!

I am really digging purple at the moment. I have a new purple sweater that I am loving, and purple goes so well in all those fall quilts with witches and pumpkins! Plus, I just visited a new-to-me quilt store in a purple building!

My favorite color is yellow...however I'm rather fond of periwinkle...oh and then there is purple....and how about red??? Oh fiddle dee dee....I can't seem to make up my mind! What's a girl to do? Make a scrap quilt!!!!!

Blue is my favorite color though it includes green, indigo, purple, violet, red, orange, and yellow too! Guess I like most colors in combination. My late father always said his favorite color was "any color so long as it is red." Thanks for the stop on the book blog tour.
